Governor Snyder joined local officials and business leaders in Flint to highlight the critical need for investment in Michigan’s roads and bridges. Watch!

The Michigan Transportation Team (MTT) supports fixing our roads and bridges now. We were encouraged by Governor Snyder’s budget message, which outlined ways to raise $1.5 billion in much needed funding.

When it comes to Michigan roads, we are in a crisis situation. Investment in our infrastructure needs to be made sooner rather than later. Better roads are safer roads!

Governor Snyder took to the road to promote road funding to an audience of nearly 500 at the Brighton Chamber of Commerce.

As stewards of our state’s public works, we are proud of the infrastructure legacy that has been entrusted to us, and we are very encouraged by Governor Snyder’s efforts to repair Michigan’s deteriorating roads.

People across Michigan are speaking out in support of investing to finally fix Michigan’s roads, which would save money and save lives.

“Our members are ready to get to work fixing our roads and bridges to help rebuild Michigan’s economy.”

At last year’s county Farm Bureau annual meetings, Michigan Farm Bureau members identified funding of roads and bridges as a top issue of concern/focus when surveyed about Michigan’s Ag Plan (MAP).

The time is now to save money, save lives and just fix the roads. Our broad based coalition – at a time when Lansing is as divided as ever – is proof of the widespread grassroots support for fixing our roads now. We are ready to partner with the Governor and Legislature to support a comprehensive solution now that will fix our roads.

The speech will be delivered at 7 pm ET from the State Capitol in Lansing. It will be broadcast on major TV and radio stations across Michigan, and will also be livestreamed online.
